If you're just tunin in......

It's slowly coming together over here.  I wanted to paint but being a genie/psychic I foresaw a very grouchy, non-compliant husband and just nixed the idea. Didn't even mention it.
In the apartment it was easy to just tack it, nail it, slap it on up there willy nilly. I'm not havin the same carefree attitude over here, each nail gets a full trial with jury in my mind before it's hammered in. I guess just don't wanna mess up my little dream box. Gotta remind myself I can always change my mind later....
 This used to hang in our bedroom.  Needs more play than a bedroom, don't you think?
 Ahhhh, this one is special. Granny let me drool over it for a couple of visits and totally surprised me by tossin it in my van right before we headed home one time.  She's pleased as punch to know that it hangs in our living room, on full display :)
 Hot air balloons. One of my favorites.

 Okay, so unpacking I am finding some interesting stuff. I bought this back when I was pregnant with my oldest and weak for celebrity pregnancy news. Why am I keeping it all these years? I haven't got a good answer. But I do keep it hidden, wouldn't want my sisters to laugh at me for buying it (again).

 I remember how sad I was when my son pulled the reel out of the Mad Max tape. I kept the box, though (Gosh, really Laura?) and then to add insult to injury he later tore the box. I still kept the torn box and put Valley Girl in it. 
 I found another copy while livin out at my mom's. Whew! 
Does that mean I will toss the other cover?
I don't know. 

Finding toys that I originally bought for my kids but in reality have not been able to let them open.
Hush! They will mess them up, guys. That would be really sad, wouldn't it?
Currently watchin my backyard flood. Keepin a sharp eye on it..... 
 And hangin with Batman. 
I'm a blessed gal.

  1. Love the art! I can't even imagine how long it would have taken to do that hot air balloon one. And the one with the panda bears makes me giggle. And aww! at your Granny for giving you that sweet piece of hers!

    I vote to recycle the Mad Max box but continue to think about opening that Hello Kitty toy set. What is going on there? Did everyone get their own turkey at each place setting? Brains? I don't know but I like it.

  2. hahahah. Don't worry I have a drawer full of VHS tapes in my bedroom. Like I have a VHS copy of the movie Dave that I taped off cable in the late 90s. I also have a VHS taped off TV copy of the last episode of Dawson's Creek...so I have no room to judge.

    1. Oh man, we ran out of vhs tape storage in our media cabinet and decided to store some in the garage. We're becoming "those people". My sister used to record the Rosie O'donell show and E.R. (she still has the E.R. tapes) I used to record Sailor Moon at 5 am every school morning and Ronin Warriors. (I do not have the tapes, sadly)

    1. It's so economical! You can get tapes for 25 cents to a dollar at the resale shop. And when the VCR breaks or gets a sandwich jammed in it(darn kids)we just get another for $5. It's just plain shrewd.
